<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brinssig, post: 2886506, member: 12147&quot;]Darn, thought I answered you already but it is not showing.&nbsp; A few things had me concerned.&nbsp; The mint mark even though it is in the right position does not look exactly like the mint marks on other examples I have seen.&nbsp; Also, there are parts of the fourth star that are white-looking and don&#039;t look exactly like the rest of the star as if someone had tried to alter the appearance of the coin and the fourth star does not look exactly like other examples of the coin I have seen.&nbsp; In addition I want to make sure the line in front of the eye is part of the coin itself and not something added on to the coin after it was minted.&nbsp; I just had the coin checked out and the line in front of the eye is from the die of the coin which I think definitely proves the coin is a VAM 59 since VAM World states this is unique to a VAM 59.&nbsp; I think the white areas on the star is probably how it was minted.&nbsp; Messydesk had mentioned to me that the mint was constantly repairing the fourth star on the dies.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think the star or mint mark on the examples I saw looked alike either just like my coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
